Proposed Project Positive Health Check Evaluation Trial—New—National Center for HIV/ AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description HIV transmission continues to be an urgent public health challenge in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 1.2 million people are living with HIV, with close to 50,000 new cases each year. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) suppresses the plasma HIV viral load (VL) and people living with HIV (PLWH) who are treated with ART—compared with those who are not—have enhanced clinical outcomes and a substantially reduced risk of transmitting HIV sexually, through drug sharing, or from mother to child. However, it is estimated that only 30% of people who are infected with HIV in the United States have an undetectable HIV VL. To enhance HIV prevention efforts, implementable, effective, scalable interventions are needed that focus on enhancing prevention and care to improve the health of and reduce HIV transmission risk among PLWH. The Positive Health Check (PHC) intervention is based on earlier computer-based interventions that were proven efficacious for HIV prevention. The PHC intervention approach is innovative in multiple ways. First, it uses an interactive video doctor to deliver tailored messages that meet specific patient needs related to ART initiation, adherence, sexual risk reduction, engagement in care, motherto-child transmission, and drug use. Second, this intervention is designed specifically to support improved health outcomes by providing useful behaviorchange tips for patients to practice between clinic visits. These tips are generated by the tool and selected by the patient and populated on a handout that is delivered to the patient upon completing the PHC intervention. The handout has no patient-identifying information. Third, PHC supports patient-provider communication by also generating a set of questions that patients may select to ask their provider. These PHC behavior-change tips and questions are populated on a Patient Handout to guide patients’ conversations with their providers and if desired, patients may choose to share their handout with their provider. As such, PHC supports the interactions between patients and their providers during their clinical encounter and is intended to improve communication. Finally, the PHC intervention has been designed from the onset for wide-scale dissemination. This web-based intervention can be easily updated and is accessible on multiple mobile devices and platforms. This approach makes PHC an important intervention strategy to improve public health in communities that have a high incidence of HIV infection. The PHC Evaluation Trial has four primary aims: (1.) Implement a randomized trial to test the effectiveness of the PHC intervention for improving clinical health outcomes, specifically viral load and retention in care; (2.) Conduct a feasibility assessment to determine strategies to facilitate implementation and integration of PHC into the workflow of HIV primary care clinics; (3.) Collect and document data on the cost of PHC intervention implementation; and (4.) Document the standard of care at each participating clinic. The awardee of this cooperative agreement—Research Triangle International (RTI)—has subcontracted with four clinical sites to implement the trial (Atlanta VA Medical Center (Atlanta, GA), Hillsborough County Health Department (Tampa, FL), Rutgers Infectious Disease Clinic (Newark, NJ) and Crescent Care (New Orleans, LA). The four clinical sites) are well suited for this work, given the high rates of patients with elevated viral loads. During the 36-month study period, 1,010 patients will be enrolled into the trial (505 intervention arm and 505 control arm) across the four clinics to evaluate the effectiveness of the PHC intervention. Upon enrollment, participants will be asked their date of diagnosis. To assess the effectiveness of the PHC intervention (Aim 1), patients randomized to the intervention arm will provide their responses to the patient tailoring questions embedded within the intervention and all enrolled patients will consent to have their de-identified clinical values be made available via passive data collection via the electronic medical record (EMR). In addition to the main trial, three to five key staff at each clinic site will be selected to participate in the PHC feasibility assessment (Aim 2) which includes an online survey and qualitative interviews. Clinic staff will provide data on the cost of implementing the PHC intervention (Aim 3). Finally, the medical director of each clinic will collect data on their clinic’s standard of care (Aim 4). OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation in this study is voluntary. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 419.

AGENCY: This notice announces the April 7, 2017 posting of a funding opportunity for Round Two of the Zika Health Care Services Program which provides up to $6.45 million to support prevention activities and treatment services for health conditions related to the Zika virus for entities that meet the eligibility requirements of the Zika Health Care Services Program, but that did not receive an award under the Round One Funding Opportunity. The Round Two Funding Opportunity provides two application due dates, May 8, 2017 and July 10, 2017. Entities eligible to apply for this funding opportunity are states, territories, tribes or tribal organizations, with active or local transmission of the Zika virus, as confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). DATES: The project period of performance for the Cooperative Agreement will be 36 months from the date of award. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Garbarczyk, 410–786–0426. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: I. Background The Zika Response and Preparedness Act (Pub. L. 114–223) provides $387,000,000 in funding to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the Zika VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:32 Jun 29, 2017 Jkt 241001 virus. Of the funds appropriated by Public Law (Pub. L.) 114–223, Congress designated $75 million to support states, territories, tribes, or tribal organizations with active or local transmission cases of the Zika virus, as confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to reimburse the costs of health care for health conditions related to the Zika virus not covered by private insurance. No less than $60 million of this funding is for territories with the highest rates of Zika transmission. The Zika Health Care Services Program funding opportunities solicit single source emergency applications for a cooperative agreement aimed at supporting prevention activities and treatment services for women (including pregnant women), children, and men adversely or potentially impacted by the Zika virus. On January 18, 2017, CMS issued $66.1 million in awards to eligible entities that applied for Round One of the Zika Health Care Services Program (American Samoa, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Florida). The Round One Funding Opportunity sought to issue funds to areas of greatest need, while maintaining additional funds to prevent, detect, and respond to future Zika outbreaks. II. Provisions of the Notice In accordance with the Zika Response and Preparedness Act (Pub. L. 114–223), entities eligible to apply for this funding opportunity include states, territories, tribes or tribal organizations with active or local transmission of the Zika virus, as confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Recipients who previously received a Notice of Award under Round One of the Zika Health Care Services Program, Funding Opportunity Number CMS– 1Q1–17–001, are not eligible to apply. As of the first application due date, May 8, 2017, the CDC reports that Texas is the only new area with laboratoryconfirmed active or local transmission of the Zika virus; and therefore, this is the only state currently eligible to receive funding as authorized under the legislation.

Accordingly, the single-source emergency funding opportunity is solely available to the state health department in Texas, based on its ability to quickly and efficiently expand its existing Zika response efforts and to further determine the most effective use and dissemination of funds in its respective jurisdictions. The health department in Texas is uniquely positioned to meet the goals of the emergency cooperative agreement based on its capacity, partnerships, resources, prior experience, and ability to begin implementing the project immediately. Immediate implementation is critical to successfully addressing this rapidly spreading public health threat. The budget and project period under the specific funding opportunity will be 36 months. The total amount of federal funds available in Round Two, for both the May 8, 2017 and July 10, 2017 due dates, is up to $6.45 million. The Texas Department of State Health Services submitted their application, and was the only entity eligible for an award as of the May 8, 2017 application due date. The proposed award amount is $1,800,000. The second application due date for the Round Two Funding Opportunity is July 10, 2017. Eligibility for the second Round Two application due date is based on the state, territory, tribe, or tribal organization meeting all of the following criteria: • Has active or local transmission cases of the Zika virus, as confirmed by the CDC. • Did not receive an award in Round One. • Has not received a response to an application submitted by the first application due date (May 8, 2017). III. Collection of Information Requirements This notice establishes funding opportunities for health departments in areas with laboratory-confirmed active or local Zika virus transmission. The funding opportunity application process constitutes an information collection request. Specifically, this notice E:\FR\FM\30JNN1.SGM 30JNN1

Proposed Project

    Positive Health Check Evaluation Trial--New--National Center for 
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    HIV transmission continues to be an urgent public health challenge 
in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC), approximately 1.2 million people are living with HIV, 
with close to 50,000 new cases each year. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) 
suppresses the plasma HIV viral load (VL) and people living with HIV 
(PLWH) who are treated with ART--compared with those who are not--have 
enhanced clinical outcomes and a substantially reduced risk of 
transmitting HIV sexually, through drug sharing, or from mother to

infected with HIV in the United States have an undetectable HIV VL. To 
enhance HIV prevention efforts, implementable, effective, scalable 
interventions are needed that focus on enhancing prevention and care to 
improve the health of and reduce HIV transmission risk among PLWH. The 
Positive Health Check (PHC) intervention is based on earlier computer-

specifically to support improved health outcomes by providing useful 
behavior-change tips for patients to practice between clinic visits. 
These tips are generated by the tool and selected by the patient and 
populated on a handout that is delivered to the patient upon completing 
the PHC intervention. The handout has no patient-identifying 
information. Third, PHC supports patient-provider communication by also 
generating a set of questions that patients may select to ask their

improving clinical health outcomes, specifically viral load and 
retention in care; (2.) Conduct a feasibility assessment to determine 
strategies to facilitate implementation and integration of PHC into the

subcontracted with four clinical sites to implement the trial (Atlanta 
VA Medical Center (Atlanta, GA), Hillsborough County Health Department 
(Tampa, FL), Rutgers Infectious Disease Clinic (Newark, NJ) and 
Crescent Care (New Orleans, LA). The four clinical sites) are well 
suited for this work, given the high rates of patients with elevated 
viral loads.
    During the 36-month study period, 1,010 patients will be enrolled 
into the trial (505 intervention arm and 505 control arm) across the 
four clinics to evaluate the effectiveness of the PHC intervention. 
Upon enrollment, participants will be asked their date of diagnosis. To
